FACING DARKNESS (A Samaritan’s Purse Film) - As the Ebola pandemic was sweeping across West Africa in the spring of 2014, one organization was willing to step up and fully commit its people and resources to provide comfort, compassion, and care to the hurting people of Africa… all in the name of Jesus. But when the deadly virus infected its own medical personnel, including Dr. Kent Brantly, the epic crisis truly hit home for Samaritan’s Purse and its leader Franklin Graham. Facing Darkness tells an incredible true story of faith, determination, and prayer … and of how God performed a miracle! Facing Darkness will be playing in Sioux Falls at Stadium 14 and Century East Theaters on Thursday, March 30 only. ALL NATIONS CITY CHURCH - On Sunday, April 2 at 6pm let's celebrate our diversity and unity in Jesus! All Nations City Church (a multi-cultural, local ministry that organizes worship gatherings) is hosting a special service at Asbury United Methodist Church (2425 S. Western Ave., Sioux Falls). Features: a Community Youth Choir, message by John Glasser of Collision Ministry, worship by Seth Dekkenga of shift115.com, good refreshments & fellowship. All are welcome! HOPE HAVEN, INC. will host their Annual Benefit Auction on Friday evening, April 7 at Te Slaa Trucking (corner of Hwys 75 & 18). Help support the local and global ministries of Hope Haven through this exciting evening of fun and fellowship. The evening’s schedule is: doors open at 4:30pm; food booth and buy-it-now table opens at 5:00pm; the live auction begins at 5:30pm. Visit our website www.hopehaven.org for a list of items that will be auctioned off. The whole family is invited to this community event! RESILIENT - You are invited to attend the showing of the documentary Resilient on May 1 at 7:30pm at First Christian Reformed Church. This is a short documentary featuring Judy Bode, sister of June Bloem. Judy was diagnosed with a thought-to-be incurable cancer at the age of 10. That was 46 years ago! Her story includes coming to understand just how sick she was as a child and learning how that miraculous cure impacted her life, her education, and her faith. Her documentary follows her journey of cancer, secondary malignancies, heart failure, heart transplant, and recovery. This award winning film was produced for the purpose of educating and equipping cancer patients, communities, medical students, and physicians about the late effects of cancer cures. Resilient includes personal testimony of cancer survivors and expert interviews with cardiologists and oncologists about these late effects. Trailer: https://vimeo.com/147913748. There are many reasons that Judy should not have survived these multiple life threatening diagnoses. Yet, by God's seemingly endless grace, He has chosen to sustain her life. Judy will speak at the event. You will learn and grow from her experiences as a cancer survivor, a heart transplant recipient, and as a child of God. DORDT DISCOVERY DAYS! Registration opens April 1 for Dordt Discovery Days! DDD is Dordt College’s five-day camp from June 19 to 23, for students who have completed 6th, 7th, or 8th grade.
